I’ve got some good news, and I’ve got some bad news. The bad news is that summer is almost over, and you know what that means: back to school, where no one even knows ANYTHING. Teachers are the worst! They’re almost worse than PARENTS. Sure, you get a new Trapper Keeper and probably some oversized Marithe Francois Girbauds that you can grow into, but we all know it’s hardly a fair trade off. But I also have some good news. Videogum is putting together a Back to School Comedy Show and Party. You should come! It is going to be three weeks from tonight, on Thursday, September 9th, at 8PM at the Bell House in Brooklyn. Unfortunately for babies in diapers, it is 21 and over, but look at this great line up!!!!!!
- •Gabe Liedman
•Joe Mande
•Max Silvestri
•John Mulaney
•Jon Glaser
Cramazing! Probably some special guests, too! We are still working out some of the details! And after the comedy show, we can all hang out and sign each other’s yearbooks! (From last year? Admittedly, my adherence to the theme is starting to wear a little thin.) The best part is the whole show is FREE. You can save your milk money for its intended purpose: milk. I have complete confidence in saying that this is going to be the best Comedy Show and Party of the first half of the first semester! NO NERDS ALLOWED*.
UPDATE: Now on Facebook. Very cool. Kids love this stuff!
*Just kidding. This thing is going to be, like, wall-to-wall nerds, obviously.

Well, I am the intended audience seeing as I’m actually GOING BACK TO SCHOOL TOMORROW WHAT? (surprise I’m eight and I found this site when I googled “Bieber fever.”) But unfortunately I live on the other side of the country and will miss out on another fantastic vgum experience. Rats.
People always like celebrities, but I think those in uniform deserve more respect.

Doing comedy live isn’t quite so easy without a computer in front of you, is it, “blog” boy?
He’ll be sitting in the back of the club, blogging, and his quips will show up on a projection screen at the front of the room. Simple fix!
Rad fix.

Talking to women live isn’t quite so easy without a computer in front of you, is it, “wanker” boy?
I can see your lorry.
I see your lorry and raise you a bag of crisps.
What’s a lorry?
Sick burn.
I don’t really understand this/you.
What?
That’s a long bike ride.
I see what you did there.
Hey That One, your city is named after mine. #monstersynergy
You can ride with us! Birdie doesn’t take up a whole seat.
this is mesmerizing. are those frozen lemonades?
They’re orange mocha frappucinos!
those don’t exist. you made them up, right? please.
They exist in Zoolander, iantenna. One can only hope someone has made this so in the real world.
oh that one, are you in pdx? we might well have met!
Maybe! I’m the unemployed guy with five degrees that you see riding his local, organic tall bike down Alberta to practice for one of my six bands while complaining about gentrification. I’m pretty hard to miss.

We can have a lengthy debate about the ins and outs of gentrification, how the term sometimes gets thrown around too recklessly, and how in some cases the overhauling of a decaying neighborhood can lead to good things among the bad (i.e. displacement of newer generations and loss of cultural identity).
We can do all those things, Steve. It’s a complicated issue, and mere utterance of the word can spark heated argument even among good friends.
But your comment makes absolutely no sense.
oh man, that one, so right on. a friend of mine, from portland as a matter of fact, posted a little something, something about gentrification on the bookface recently and boy howdy did it turn into a shitstorm. i think the thing that people lose track of is that gentrification is a force much greater than the individual caught up in it. e.g. i bought a house in oakland because i couldn’t afford a house in berkeley and didn’t want to live over the hill in ticky-tacky-tract-home-ville. does that make me a small part in the forces of gentrification in oakland? yes. does it mean that i support all the larger consequences of said gentrification? hell no. people i know always want to make the debate personal and there is nothing less personal than gentrification. i live where i live due to a lot of factors and forces, none of which should imply anything about my feelings on gentrification.
sorry, i didn’t mean to turn this into iantenna’s rant on people ranting on gentrification, i just had that stowed up in me for a while, and it spilled out here. plus i like videogum debate team.
tl’dr! LOL!
If you get tired on your journey there’s always the Snazzy Napper to have you chipper and back on your bike before long.

And now for a very special guest: BIRDIE!
Oh god, I love bar-dogs.
i accidentally downvoted you. apparently i can’t click properly before my morning caffeine injection. sorry.
Oh man you guys. This so makes up for the fact that my mom got me a lame PLAIN BLUE trapper keeper without checking with me first.
Now I’m going to have to put Vuarnet and Gotcha stickers all over it.
make sure you get some Lisa Frank folders for the inside.
VERY cool keeper, bro. You might want to lose the Zubaz sticker though. Just saying.
Comedy show’s a great idea and all, but I’m more interested in where to get a dog with a backpack.
my pocket protector, salve, and corrective boot are ready and waiting.
i have to wear my headgear after 9 pm no matter what (because my parents invested in my mouth!), so nobody make fun! and if you are going to try to make out with me, do it before 9 pm.
Some of us start TEACHING classes this next week.
So true. I just finished teaching a summer session course.
Teachergum!
Yay! Teachers are cool, right? This is my “back-to-school face”:
I might make the pilgrimage from Albany for this!
Ok, if I leave now, I should be able to walk to NY from MN. Work won’t mind if I’m a few weeks late, right?
Gabe any chance you can put a webcam up so we Non-NYers can partake in your comedy stylings?
Stupid New Yorkers!
When the Idaho Panhandle Videogum parties be at?
I got really excited because I thought I was gonna be in NYC that weekend to see Pavement, but NOPE, that’s 2 weeks later. Disappointing.
I’m seeing Pavement that night, silly! I’ll try to pretend that Mr. Malkmus is Jon Glaser, though, in solidarity with the rest of you monsters.
(There’s still tickets available, stupid Denverites. They just had to downsize venues. Who the fuck didn’t buy Pavement tickets the first day? link)
Is Gabe D
the MC?
No duh.
OOH WEE!
By The By, I Can’t be near an Airport that weekend, especially one near NY.
Brown Terror Faces!
do it down here in miami and i will come. the internet barely even makes it down here. the pipes melt on the way down.
I didn’t know they had Trapper Keepers when Gabe was in school.
?
I hate you sometimes, Internet.
gabe, i know you’re old and out of touch, and i’m certainly no expert on this. but, i’m pretty sure the kids are all about pee chee folders this fall.
So is that “John Wayne Gacy” clown from the background going to be there? Because, if so, count me IN! (And by “in”, I mean “in-sane asylum”.)
Oh my god. That dog? And his knapsack? Are adorable.
I didn’t read the article. What’s in it?
Your username is really intense, Ari Gold.
Mission accomplished, Gabe, because that’s what I was aiming for with my username. Intensity.
I’m just too lazy to change it. Does it matter that much? Ech. I don’ t care.
It doesn’t matter at all, obviously. I am just surprised at the public vehemence of your opinion about a movie that doesn’t come out for another three months.
I’m honestly so stupid. I thought the username belonged to a woman with a summer due date for her baby. Look how I relate!
UGH
In a few days I am actually moving to New York (Poughkeepsie is close to New York, shut up) for school and so I find it particularly cruel and unusual that this is 21+. Baby monsters don’t bite (because we haven’t teethed yet), you should let us join the fun sometime.
Vassargum?
how did you manage to keep the line up so gender equal? very cool.
Yes, because if nothing else Videogum is definitely known for its sexist attitudes!
Relax, babyastronauts.
Gabe didn’t mention any of the female lineup because he knows there are so many pervgums on this site. Instead they are the “special” guests.
Wait, so a token female comedian would have made you feel a whole lot better?
GETOUTTAHERE
I did a silly, didn’t I?
After a comedy show the other night, where all the nerds (just me) drank at the bar in hopes of talking to the talent, I was a little hurt that Max didn’t just smell the Videogum on me. I settled for saying something awkward (no, really, the word “awkward” was in there) and then getting quietly drunk. What I’m saying is: I’m debating whether it would help or hurt to just bring a laptop to this event with Videogum on the screen as a conversation icebreaker.
Just have it open on an iPhone and casually wave the phone around until someone notices you are surfing VG at the bar.
But will the Human Magnet Mother fresh from the Gathering of the Juggalos perform? Let the magic happen Gabe.
Bell House and free! As soon as I park my City Sights double decker bus I’m there.
AND EVERYBODY BE NICE TO GABE AND THE COMEDIANS!®
I DONT WANT TO SEE ANY OF THIS SHIT
Can I still come even though I haven’t commented in like, 6 months?
I’ll be there and I promise to keep the fan-boy to a minimum.
